Seduce With The Body Of An Enemy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Watching Tikan rapidly recede beyond the window, Cassius sank into anguish.
When he heard that Rachel already knew about his terminal condition, he was terrified she might make the same choice as he had.
‘What if Rachel turns back time like I did and becomes terminally ill?’
Just the thought made his heart plummet.
He would willingly risk his life for Rachel—but she must never do the same for someone like him.
He didn’t care if someone called him a coward for it.
What could he do when a world without her was a hellish inferno worse than damnation itself? Damn it all.
Fortunately, time hadn’t turned back yet.
Aside from Rachel’s disappearance, everything remained exactly as it was.
Therefore, Rachel would surely return soon. Even if she had resolved to do something reckless, he just needed to find her first.
Thinking this way, he endured day after day.
‘But what if her disappearance was due to Duke Snowfell?’
Though it was only a faint trace for now, Cassius’s blood boiled with rage.
Snowfell had committed such acts in his previous life—there was no guarantee they wouldn’t do it again this time.
They had even publicly declared their intention to make Vivian the Crown Princess, yet Rachel remained their greatest threat beyond doubt.
He couldn’t possibly predict what atrocities their greed might drive them to.
—Bang! He slammed the table so hard the entire room shook, then immediately stood up.
A dreadful crackling sound formed around the table.
But ignoring it completely, he strode toward the bridal chamber with an expression as cold as frost.
*
Vivian had already been waiting for Cassius to arrive for several hours.
Simply maintaining her posture beneath the heavy headdress was exhausting enough on its own.
Outside, she could hear the flustered murmurs of the priests.
‘Is Cassius not coming today?’
At this rate, they might become the first couple in history to fail to consummate their marriage.
Though she understood Cassius’s feelings, such a thing simply couldn’t happen.
If it did, she couldn’t imagine how the nobles would react.
Already, there was much gossip about the Crown Prince—and many factions were eager to strike against Cassius.
‘Should I go to him first? But would Cassius even accept me if I did?’
If she acted rashly and the consummation still failed to happen, the situation could spiral even further out of control.
With all the priests watching closely, every move now had to be made with utmost caution.
‘What should I do?’
As she pondered deeply, the door suddenly burst open.
There was only one person who could enter the bridal chamber so abruptly, without a sound.
Turning her head, she saw a towering figure emerge beneath the faintly glowing lamp.
Outside the door came the priests’ anxious, flustered voices.
Cassius ignored them entirely and shut the door behind him with enough force to shatter it.
—Bang!
With a deafening crash, the door slammed shut, and an oppressive silence settled over the room where only the two of them remained.
His ragged breathing filled the space with startling clarity.
A fierce glint overlaid Cassius’s distinctive blue eyes.
It was a different, alien light—utterly unlike the emotionless expression she’d seen at the wedding ceremony.
The sight of him, appearing more like a wild beast than a man coming to consummate his wedding night, made her involuntarily swallow hard.
‘Why did he come?’
Even as a joke, his current intensity made it impossible to believe he’d come for consummation.
Without giving her time to think, he strode toward me with relentless force.
The distance between us vanished in an instant, stealing my breath away.
His gaze, fixed on the rose bushes surrounding the chamber, grew chillingly cold.
‘Is he recalling some promise he made to Rachel?’
In this very Gratio Room, he had once smiled brighter than anyone in the world as he confessed to Rachel—meaning, to me.
“No matter what happens, I’ll love only you forever.”
Seeing the sorrowful look in his eyes now, it seemed he was remembering that broken vow.
I caught sight of his clenched fist on the other side, his teeth seemingly gritted tight.
As if revealing that every expression he’d shown until now was merely a mask, his current despairing face felt strangely vivid and alive.
Seven years. Had you truly lived like this all this time?
My heart crumbled. And yet, the fact that you were still alive—that you were enduring—brought a strange sense of relief.
‘Yes. Just keep living, Cassius, however you can.’
In this life, I will surely bring forth a new light to grace your existence, with my own hands.
The more bleak reality pressed in, the clearer one thought echoed in my mind: I must tempt Cassius at all costs.
“Your Highness.”
Cassius slowly turned his expressionless face toward me.
For a moment, an odd sense of déjà vu flickered—but I forced it aside and looked up at him with the most natural, alluring expression I could muster.
I knew exactly what the Contractor meant by “successful seduction.”
I gently traced the spot on Cassius’s neck—the place where he was always most vulnerable.
At times like this, his ears would often flush red.
‘But for some reason, they look pale white now, not red.’
A faint sense of foreboding crept in, but I decided to press forward regardless.
“Allow me to help you change.”
For some reason, Cassius only stared at me intently, saying nothing.
Ignoring his piercing gaze, I reached toward his suit.
Just as my fingers touched the buttons, he seized my hand.
His grip instantly tightened with overwhelming strength.
Back when I was Rachel, his touch had always been gentle—so the sudden roughness made my body flinch in surprise.
Still holding my wrist, Cassius shoved me onto the bed with almost violent force.
Hovering above me now, his sharp eyes locked onto mine.
‘What’s this? Was this his preference all along?’
I’d thought he was an innocent pup… but this was even better.
At this rate, I might fulfill the contract’s condition tonight and make the Contractor weep with joy.
But that thought evaporated instantly the moment I met his overpowering blue eyes.
One corner of his mouth had already curled upward in a subtle, mocking smirk.
Slowly trailing a finger down my face, he finally spoke.
“Perhaps it’s because you take after your father—but your delusions are truly impressive.”
Any ordinary noblewoman, or even the real Vivian, would have felt deeply insulted by those words.
To call the gesture of a wife offering to help him undress a “delusion”…
Moreover, his cold, dry eyes held no emotion—only icy detachment.
‘If I’m trembling right now, then I must truly be insane.’
Cassius, now positioned naturally atop me, met my gaze with unwavering intensity.
Wherever his eyes landed, my skin burned as if set aflame.
As if to slap me back to my senses, Cassius gave a cold, mocking laugh.
“You’re not seriously fantasizing that you’ll receive my love, are you?”
His blade-sharp blue eyes pierced through me with chilling indifference.
‘I expected this…’
Yet it still hurt. Because now, it was excruciatingly clear what I was to him.
‘Was this why he married Vivian?’
The clammy sensation on my arm cut off my thoughts and intensified the bitter ache.
The man who once couldn’t bear to touch me carelessly now gripped me as he pleased.
Trying to hide my trembling under his obvious gaze, I turned my eyes away. If he noticed me shaking too, I’d truly be a mad fool—and I wanted to avoid that embarrassment at all costs.
But even that small act of evasion was denied.
Ruthlessly, Cassius’s other hand seized my chin and yanked my face back toward him—as if demanding I look directly at him.
“Just tell me where you’ve hidden Rachel.”
Rachel?
“What are you talking about…?”
“You can’t possibly be ignorant. You must know what your family did to Rachel.”
His completely unexpected accusation froze my body stiff.
Yet my mind had already leaped to a single, horrifying conclusion.
‘Could he possibly think Snowfell harmed me?’
“It seems you’re under a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?”
He dropped my chin roughly, his eyes colder than ever—and so were his next words.
“Listen carefully—this is the last ounce of patience I have for enduring someone as repulsive as you.”
In an instant, Cassius closed the distance between us, his breath brushing against me.
‘What’s going through his mind?’
He was so close I could read every subtle shift in his pupils.
The calm, composed look on his face as he watched me squirm made me feel utterly humiliated.
‘Meanwhile, I’m burning up like this…’
His long, pale fingers trailed slowly down my neck, lingering dangerously close to tearing open the lace.
His deliberate slowness stole my breath away.
Countless thoughts tumbled through my mind—about all the ways one could inflict shame.
Still unsatisfied, he let his slender white fingers glide softly along my jaw.
That touch soon drifted down to brush gently over my collarbone.
My thoughts scattered wildly, and wherever his fingers touched, my skin burned with dizzying intensity.
Inconceivably, Cassius’s expression remained completely unchanged—as if he hadn’t just done such a thing.
His hand, having torn my dress, coiled upward with rough intensity.
Only when he saw my flustered expression did he finally stop his taunting touch.
A faint, cruel smile bloomed at the corner of his lips.
“Just tell me where Rachel is.”
“…….”
“If you do, I might just grant you the one night the Crown Princess so desperately begs for.”
With those words, he stepped down from the bed and disappeared without so much as a backward glance.
Now, I finally understood for certain.
Cassius had gone through with this wedding solely to bring down Snowfell.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
